24 Feb How Home Care Helps with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Have you or your loved one recently been hospitalized with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)? The return home after hospitalization with COPD can oftentimes feel overwhelming and filled with uncertainty. We at Family Tree In-Home Care can provide our services to ease the transition back home and give you or your family the high quality of care they deserve.
Did you know that approximately 22.6% of patients hospitalized with COPD are readmitted within 30 days? However, for the patients that receive at-home care following their hospitalizations their risk of readmission is drastically reduced. With the proper at-home care by Family Tree In-Home Care, we can lower the chances of readmission due to COPD, for you or your loved one.
